Several current and former Google employees are publicly criticizing an employee-written memo that suggested the lower numbers of women in the tech industry are due to biological differences.

The memo, which tech news site Recode published in full, is titled “Google’s Ideological Echo Chamber.”

The memo says the Mountain View, Calif., tech giant’s “political bias has equated the freedom from offense with psychological safety” and created a space where “some ideas are too sacred to be honestly discussed.”

It goes on to say that “differences in distributions of traits between men and women may in part explain why we don’t have 50% representation of women in tech and leadership” and criticizes Google’s diversity programs and hiring practices, calling them “discriminatory.”

Some Google executives have already responded to the memo, with the company’s new head of diversity saying it “advanced incorrect assumptions about gender.”

Here are a few thoughts from other current and former Google employees.
